Statistics for Alfa Romeo

Search by VIN

Alfa Romeo is a brand known for building uniquely designed quality sports cars. The Italian brand became part of the Fiat Group in 1986 and managed to export their brand to many European countries and build an international reputation. Although Alfa Romeo managed to build their brand in Europe, it is clear that the popularity of the brand is more centralized into the direction of Italy, Germany and France. Statistics of the Fiat Group from 2012 show that near 50% of all Alfa Romeo’s are sold within Italy. Number 2, France, follows with almost 10%. Because of that, the number of Alfa’s that are exported as used vehicles from the US on an annual basis remain limited.

Two models that currently comprise the majority of sales in Europe are the Alfa Romeo MiTo and the Giulietta. And of all Alfa Romeo’s that were sold, almost 2 out of 3 correspond to the Giulietta model. Other models of Alfa Romeo that were recently discontinued from production, but are still bought and sold on the used car market include the Alfa Romeo Spider, 146, 147, 156, 157, 159, 166, GT and GTV.

Cars that were imported from the United States may sometimes have a different history than is expected. One of the forms of vehicle history that often goes undetected is a car with a salvage title. There are currently 40 Alfa Romeo vehicles in Europe with such a title. A salvage title is issued a car was so severely damaged that the cost of repairing exceeds 75% of the pre-damage value or the entire residual value of the vehicle. Some of these cars, however, make it back for a second lifetime on European roads where their owners may not know about their accident or salvage history. That’s why checking with CARFAX for used US imports is always useful to gain confidence in purchase. Another risk factor for Alfa Romeos from the US is any type of accident.
